]]>Despite the fact that it was scheduled about six months from now, BlizzCon 2020 has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. What does this say about getting back to normal? What is really going on?

If Blizzard is making this decision six months out, could it be because they’re not getting the kind of fanfare they wanted due to the pandemic? Sure, we can always say it was for the betterment of fans; however, it could also be for the betterment of their pockets. I mean, who wants to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on an event that won’t pay for itself?

Since the beginning of this pandemic we’ve seen concerts, conventions and events like ComicCon, SXSW, Ultra Fest, The MET Gala, Essence Festival, NYC Pride March, Cannes Film Festival, Burning Man and many more cancel due to Covid 19. But lots of these events were going to take place by the middle of this year. BlizzCon on the other hand was scheduled for November 2nd, which is less than 6 months away. Furthermore, masks are becoming more readily available, which debunks the the 6 feet apart rule. Oktoberfest, which is held every year in Munich Germany was also cancelled back in April (5 months prior to event).

That said, are conventions and events like BlizzCon and Oktoberfest (which are taking place later this year) cancelling because they want to keep guests safe or because guests aren’t buying tickets due to fear of catching Covid 19? There is a difference, and knowing would go a long way in understanding whether the reasons are because of money, fear or both.

]]>The most recent Call of Duty Warzone update brings with it secret bunkers, weapon changes and more! These new changes have become available to all gamers on all gaming platforms!

Keep in mind that if you’re playing Call of Duty Warzone on Xbox One or Playstation 4, expect a large 30GB file to download onto your hard drive; however, if you’re playing Warzone on your PC, the file will be much smaller.

Now for the intel…

Bunkers & Weaponry

The most contentious of all the changes that come with the update are the bunkers. Why

In order to get into a bunker, you’ll need an access card!

The only way to get your hands on one of them access cards is to find them in supply boxes, but not just any supply box…
You’ll need to get your hands on Gold (Legendary) supply boxes.

Each key card is set for a particular keypad outside its designated bunker.

Once you’re in a bunker, you’ll find crates of loot, high-level weaponry, killstreaks & field upgrades

Bug Fixes

I for one am ecstatic to hear that the Gulag Trap bug is fixed! This bug traps players in the gulag for the entire match, which was hair-ripping! Another bug that has been fixed is one that allowed players to access areas outside the map. The best fix would have to be in weapons re-balancing, which includes FAL & SCAR aim-down-sight-times decrease and reduced recoil on the Holfer 26. Last but not least, holding your breath while operating a sniper rifle has lessened.

]]>When you place Razer masks and vending machines together, you get gaming accessory maker, Razer making and donating 5 million masks and distributing them throughout Singapore via vending machines they themselves are building out.

Razer, which has headquarters in both United States and Singapore are already putting their plan to provide Singapore with a total of 20 vending machines throughout Singapore by June 1st.

Razer Pay App

Although Razer will be utilizing their Razer Pay app, which everyone will be required to download onto their smartphones, there has already been some negative feedback on whether or not this was intended for more downloads. However, Razer CEO, Min-Liang Tan has already ensured that the app is being used solely to prevent any free for all.

Min-Liang Tan, who hails from Singapore, which has a current population of 5 million citizens, has every intention on giving away the first 5 million masks and using the company’s Razer Pay app to control distribution efforts. Then, plans of ramping up manufacturing 10 million masks per month, which he plans on selling will be slated to begin once first batch of masks have been successfully distributed.

]]>The video of Sony Playstation’s and Sucker Punch’s upcoming Ghost of Tsushima reveals gameplay and details introduced at the State of Play broadcast. The footage shows mechanics of combat, customization, exploration and more. Instead of using Heads Up Display (HUD) to help guide you, the game utilizes wind and animals to find hidden shrines and collectibles.

You can choose to play the lead character (Jin Sakai) as the honorable warrior or assassin. The coolest part is being able to play in Japanese and in Black & White!

]]>Could it be true that I can finally customize my Nintendo Switch buttons?

One of the most amazing, most anticipated and most requested things just became available and it couldn’t have come at a better time…

NINTENDO SWITCH BUTTONS ARE FINALLYCUSTOMIZABLE!!!

Ok… So the firmware update that was released just last night does not offer button customization for third party or Nintendo retro controllers, but so what!! We can now (no pun intended) switch between different button layouts depending on the type of game we’re playing. Heck, we can even change the the orientation of the joystick depending on how you’re holding the controller whether it be vertically or horizontally!

The best part is that the console can save a total of five (5) different button layouts as presets! This means you can (again, no pun intended…) switch between presets depending on the type of game you’re playing, whether it be fighting, shooting, racing, etc…
